kupik [55]3 years ago

The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.

Fat and atp are different molecules tgat store energy compare the functions of these molecules in terms of energy storage
Julli [10]

Answer:

Fats and ATP are both energy molecules.

ATP is the source of energy which is directly used by each cell to carry out different functions. All cells use energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria makes ATP by the process of cellular respiration whenever it is required by the body. ATP is not a stable molecule hence energy cannot be stored in this form.

Fats are long term energy storage molecules. Fats are stable molecules hence they can be used for long term energy storage.

larisa [96]

Answer:

The smallest size tube that will hold the entire reaction is 0.5ml

Explanation:

25ul (DNA sample) + 25ul (enzyme) + 50ul (buffer) + 400ul (water) = 500ul total

since 1000ul=1ml, then 500ul = 0.5ml

Answer:

The device that mostlikely would not be used P20

Explanation:

P20 is a pipette used to measure and sample volumes of 20ul maximum.

Answer:

The reaction mix will have 400 units of the enzyme.

The working dilution will be 0.8 Units/ul.

Explanation:

The mix has 20ul of the enzyme which is 20Units/ul. Then we have 20ulx20Units/ul= 400 Units of enzyme in the mix.

Since the final volume is 500ul, the final concentration 400Units/500ul=0.8 Units/ul.

A cell that is low in water will most likely immediately lose the ability to
viktelen [127]
You lose water every day through natural body functions, such as breathing, sweating, and going to the bathroom. Most people easily replace that fluid through drinking and eating. However, certain conditions affect the body’s ability to stay hydrated, requiring a conscious effort to take in more fluids. In fact, waiting to drink until you are thirsty is often not enough because you may be dehydrated and not feel thirsty, which it would cause cancer.
